Went to a dance one night And the beautiful music was playing And through the dim blue light I could just see the silhouette swaying Then all at once the room was aglow And through the couples I could see A pair of angel eyes and I was hypnotised They were looking straight at me They played a ladies choice And I could feel my heart beating madly For any moment she'd ask me to dance And I would say gladly Then someone said would you care to dance? I turned around when I heard her voice But it was someone else, oh how sad I felt
For I was the wrong ladies choice And when the song was through she was alone and I caught her eye I had to make my play before she'd dance with some other guy So as the music played She laid her sweet head on my shoulder And she could see the love that I felt As though I had told her Was someone waiting to take her home? I wondered who would the luck boy be? And when the dance was through, all the world was new For the ladies choice was me Yeah, the ladies choice was me Mmm, the ladies choice was me
